lyrics

Today is all about you; the radio plays your favourite song
The sky shines a perfect blue but you seem so grey, tell me what’s wrong
Open the door, take a look around won’t you put on your favourite shoes
In the distance I hear the carnival sound of a life that’s waiting for you

The hour is late now, and so is your saviour too

There’s a picture that hangs on the wall, oh it seems to say nothing at all
And these long days will make you so tired, let’s fall asleep down by the fire
You can read me a passage from your favourite book
I hear cracks at the edge of your voice
You say it’s a classic and there’s a pirate called hook
and he’s out to get all the girls and boys.

It’s not too late you know, there’s still time to make a choice

There’s a dog that howls in the street
Near the graveyard where we used to meet
And it seems like he’s searching for something
Oh, I know that everybody’s searching for something
But the air here is thick and it seems to stick
Oh they’re burning your past in the playground
Lets start our own fire, one that burns even higher
Oh the stars will fall down into pieces on the ground

And the choir is here now, just for you they sing aloud.

There’s always a lesson to learn
Beware of the flame it burns
Love is the greatest concern, you’ll learn
Yeah, turn your face up to the sky
I see the fire in your eyes
Love is the reason why, still you cry
